SESSION 5 (6/6/19):

The party wakes up at the Crust and notices that their friend Gimble has simply ghosted them without saying a damn thing. Incredibly rude. He did at least return the Captain’s book - I guess he has his priorities straight.

While eating breakfast, the group tries to find out what exactly is up with the Cryptex. It is ornate, certainly old, and incredibly well made. The 5 rows of elven lettering is in an ancient dialect (still readable, but often unused characters) are etched into ivory rings. Shaking they can hear things moving around inside, and some liquid sloshing.

Trying to get more information, Devra refers us to the dejected looking elf at the end of the bar - she looks like she could use some company and may know a thing or two about magic.

That elf woman is ZARINE! - our new party member! Zarine is a bit down in the dumps, and is looking to get out of town. What do you know - we are leaving town, and we could certainly use some help since our warlock just peaced out on us! Zarine has a cool looking white staff and even cooler dreadlocked hair. She might be the most stylish of the group (Orson is going to make this a competition). WELCOME TO THE BEST FRIEND MURDER HOBO CLUB! Seb introduces himself, and the party. The Cryptex is used as an icebreaker - maybe Zarine knows something?? Orson just tosses the thing across the room (what a cool dude…like the Fonze) and thankfully Seb catches it. Zarine takes a look - and isn’t able to gather much more than our merry group of idiots had been able to tell. Maybe someone else knows?

OFF TO BERTRAM’s MAGIQS SHOP. Bertram is an old gnome - not quite Gimble old. His shop has various magic wares including a wand that really catches Klog’s eye. THUNDER WAND. The group is collectively sticker shocked by the cost of potions, realizing they are all really, really poor. Luckily, 4 poor people can still buy 1 potion of healing (Seb -5GP, Orson -10GP & book, Elly - 10GP, Klog -24GP). Orson tries to pitch the old gnome on the virtues of his incredibly dry Naval history book and fails pretty spectacularly...getting only 1GP knocked off the price. (+1 Healing Potion to Seb)

On the way out - the group contract Bertram to look into the history of Lady Diadra. Our own private detective! PRIVATE DICK! It only cost 5 silver - and maybe he can hint us to the password to the Cryptex?? (-5SP from Klog) Bertram gives Klog a receipt for his work (+1 Stamped Receipt to Klog) with a promise of some information when we come back. Save that for your taxes, Klog.

Meanwhile, back at the Minnow…we are contracted by Accumulator Ris the badass cat man with very deep pockets to venture to “The Solarium”(a sunroom/greenhouse). Tabaxi dude is sending us to an island that is heavily plant-based(death trap). Payment is 500gp FOR THE PARTY WE GONNA BE RICH. A spire is visible off the coast of the island we’re looking for. Deadly island. Verdant Island? TREASURE ISLAND FOR 500 GOLD AMIRITE? SOMEONE CALL UP TIM CURRY. WE’RE GETTING WEIRD WET AND W….iratey? (I appreciate this groups fine grasp of 1990s pop culture.)  Yup, that’s what I’m going with. We negotiate for 5 days on the island before Captain Leyan just leaves us stranded. Klog sits with the amulet and does some of that Magic Man shit. Sparks and stuff. He figured out the Amulet - Diadra’s Song! (+1 magic item to Llwellyn)

Magical Auras(more in depth notes in roll20):


 * Enchantment - Ability to cast sleep
 * Divination - Directs the wearer to...somewhere?
 * Abjuration - Need to make it happy?

At night, Zarine is listlessly looking over the port bow and notices some bubbles and black shapes...then a grappling hook...then fish people. UGGGGH SHIT! WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!

We fight off these fish people skillfully, causing two of the bogeys to bug out and head home (more 90s popular culture). In the process Zarine reveals to us she is a druid by BECOMING A GIANT DIRE WOLF! Seb desperately wants to pet the doggy - and he does. WHO’S A GOOD GIRL? Zarine accepts the pats.

Orson kills the last remaining fish-man. While the rest of the party is talking, Orson chunks off a nice filet’o’fish and asks the Captain if they are good eatin’. Orson loves a nice flaky white fish. ORSON MIGHT BE A CANNIBAL?!?! He is shamed into just chucking the body overboard and the entire party now thinks he is a cannibal. Maybe he is???? FINISH w/ SESSION 5.
